BREAKING: APC Legal Adviser, El-Marzuq Resigns, Gives Reasons
El-Marzuq attributed his resignation to the emergence of ex-governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje
The National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed El-Marzuq, has resigned his membership of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling party.
VerseNews Nigeria reports that in a statement on Wednesday by his Special Adviser, AbdulHalim Adamu, El-Marzuq attributed his resignation to the emergence of ex-governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje; and former Senate spokesman, Ajibola Basiru; as APC National Chairman and National Secretary respectively.
The statement partly read, “In light of the recent developments within our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), with the emergence of His Excellency Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Senator Ajibola Basiru as National Chairman and National Secretary and the reconfiguration of party offices for national cohesion and adequate regional representation, the National Legal Adviser found it pertinent that he resigns his position within the party to allow for a smooth reconfiguration of the party’s leadership.”
